May Day

Pinkerton agents, who were hired by McCormick Harvesting Plant to break up protests, had thrown the bomb to control protesting workers and to discredit the labor movement as only wanting to hurt people. Governor Altgeld said at the trial “the bomb was, in all probability, thrown by someone seeking personal revenge” (Soucek 55). Another important point is that May 1 is international May Day, a holiday celebrating the lives lost in the labor movement. Sadly, President Cleveland though celebrating May 1 would cause everyone to remember the riots and the communist factor, so he moved it to September, our current labor day (Steven 1). It’s sad that there’s always that underlying fear of revolt, even though everywhere else in the world celebrates May 1 as May Day. There are some very arguable points to the side that the Haymarket Affair only hindered the labor rights…

The U.S. did not trust the Russians. The Soviets would not live up to their end of the treaty and thus leave the U.S unprotected. This can be seen in the movie, Seven Days in May. The president signs a nuclear disarmament treaty with the Soviet Union, which is unpopular with the American Citizens. A Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff plots to become president through conspiracy. Even a U.S. Senator is kidnapped and held captive. Although Seven Days in May is only a movie, it represents how…

We all hate cancer. Why? Because it takes so many precious lives from us. According to statistics, on average, cancer affects more than 12.7 million people a year. My mom happened to be one of those millions of people and maybe if she would’ve taken an aspirin everyday, she would still be here. They say that there is not a cure for cancer but there is ways to prevent or even help it. Taking an aspirin a day can lower yours or a loved one's chances of getting cancer or any other deadly illnesses.…

between these two groups. In her book Revolutionizing Motherhood: The Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo she writes “Against the military values of hierarchy, obedience, and the unchecked use of physical force, the Mother practiced pacifism, cooperation, and mutual love.” These forces are the exact antithesis of the other; one dehumanizes and the other memorializes. This group of women, fueled by their undying love for their children, became the most significant force of opposition to the violent…

I believe that they may have used heavy panning to make the song sound as though a large orchestra and choir are performing it. Some examples of where they have used panning are: - Harmonies in the opening section are panned on both sides. - On the vocals (0:36) the line “little high, little low” is panned fully left first and then fully right. - In the opera section (beginning at 3:02) there are many examples of use of the stereo field including “Thunderbolts and lightning” and…

The use of chromatic side- slipping when the words “easy come, easy go” are sang, gives emphasis to the dream like tone. A piano and bass guitar beginning to play marks the transition from the introduction to the ballad. After a few seconds the vocals enter and start singing in a softly sung manor. After mercury sings a couple lines starting with “mama”; his voice progressively turns from soft to extremely passionate. At the same time, there is a modulation to a new key as the drums come in.…

these things. From the stereotypes above it may suggest that he did not know how to clean or he felt it was not his job to clean even though he signed the agreement. Brian had a job which he lost in the two week period; he may have not felt he could handle completing the cleaning, cooking and going to work all at the same time. This again may have been due to him having very traditionally views that women should complete household chores and he should only work. Therefore, he may have thought…

May Sarton wrote a poem about AIDS and how having this disease can affect our lives and a loved one’s life. With this disease it sets limits on not only you but of others. She not only portrays it in a negative context but also creates an image of how we can open up to others. AIDS is a disease that not only brings out the fear in people but those who they encounter. AIDS has been out since the 1980 but people still see it as something new. Sarton’s poem repeats words, and emphasize on AIDS.…

According to this source there was no any particular reason for this accident. Although there was a direct link of the criminal activity in that rally which was supported by labor leaders and anarchists. A strong argument was made as the main reason was against the capitalist system, widespread fear of unionism and other radicalism. It also explains about the clear intention of making bomb and the proper plan to kill people in this rally. So, seven of the eight defendants received death…

Whether the feedback on a particular subject is positive or negative, the politician is able to know what voters think. Social media allows them to know how the public is responding to an issue and how they can adjust to appeal more to people. On September 17, 2015 Green Party leader Elizabeth May was left out of the election debate, because of social media she was still able to participate. She posted her rebuttals on Twitter during the debate in order to get her ideas across and get…
